McCain needs to strongly rebuke these vermin.

And we need their names on list, and remember the names going forward.
They should never get work again for a Rep candidate.

The problem is, she became much more popular than McCain.

RINOs cannot have a true Conservative out front again. Especially one who threatens their gravy train and cushy political careers.

I look forward to the next few weeks when we will actually see the leaders of the McCain and Palin camps address their issues with each other in candor. I have grown very tired of leaks by “unnamed sources.”

That really is the most logical choice. I haven't heard a peep out of McCain trying to defend Palin. I can't help but think the McCain staffers are primarily trying to defend McCain.

Why do we constantly pounce on that rubber mouse the MSM throws at us. Seems we would learn that it is phony and shouldn’t be eaten.

This is exactly what the Obama people, who started this, wanted.

But, I bet they're sitting at their monitors, right now, laughing at how easy it is to fool you people.

As bad as the McCain team was, they are the ones who need to be drummed out of politics forever.

The same here.

I swore one year ago that I would vote the bottom of our ballot, local and state issues, and none of the above for president.

Because of Sara Palin, I ended up donating $1,000 and beating everyone I know over the head to vote for her.

“I’d like to throw this question out for discussion with the caveat that I’m not the Palin fan that most here are. Would fellow Freepers still back Palin so strongly if she looked like Helen Thomas or had a figure like Mama Cass?”

You just don't get it do you?????? I could care less what she looks like, or if she is a woman, black, white, Asian, etc. To suggest that people support her because she is “attractive”; is condescending and ignorant.

She represents a vision that many of us have for the future.
We see America as a can do nation, where individual spirit and initiative is prized and looked up to. We don't look to a large central government as a solution to our problems, we look at a large central government as a cancer that will destroy us.
We don't dislike someone who has a degree from Harvard, in fact most of us realize that type of training is very valuable in the correct context. We just give more credence to life experience and common sense.

In short we believe in the greatness of America. We see our nation as a special place; as beacon for freedom and individual liberties.
And we see Sarah Palin as someone who really understands that.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt: I’ll assume you’re just too dense to realize that you’re an unwitting tool of the true enemy.

But, nonetheless, you’re an embarrassment.

I’d like to throw this question out for discussion with the caveat that I’m not the Palin fan that most here are. Would fellow Freepers still back Palin so strongly if she looked like Helen Thomas or had a figure like Mama Cass? There’s obviously a place for Governor Palin in the GOP, but not as head of the ticket. I don’t think she’d make it through the primaries in 2012 with the most votes. I look for Huckabee to be the nominee in 2012.

Why does your last comment not surprise me?

Huckabee & his supporters here & elsewhere were behind the smearing of Romney aides by insisting that they were spreading the Palin slanders. (Those smears turned out to be completely false; the people responsible were NOT Romney people.)

And Huck's people got a handy 2-fer by doing so, didn't they? They helped undermine Palin by getting the Wallace/Davis/Schmidt garbage against her out there to go wider & simultaneously discredited Romney to boost their guy's 2012 chances.

Despicable. Unfortunately, it's also classic Huck.

Palin will have plenty of time to prove her mettle for 2012 just like all the other qualified candidates currently out there: Cantor, Jindal et al. Four years is a long time, and who knows what kind of leader the nation will need that far down the road?

The best person to head the party's ticket then may well be someone we haven't even heard of yet.

But Huck is an ignorant underhanded buffoon & a religious bigot to boot. I sure as hell want no part of any party that would even consider elevating such petty little fraud to serve as its standard bearer.

If we think Palin was savaged by the MSM, Huckabee would be crucified, and not without justification.

When I read your inane comments the phrase, “Hook, line and sinker” comes to mind.

Stay away from sharp objects, please.

Sarah Palin is the only reason I bothered to vote at all. McCain and his ilk better sit down and shut up before they alienate real conservatives such as my self for good.

“This is exactly what the Obama people, who started this, wanted.”

Check out the facts next time before you post. There have been names named already; of the staffers who have been saying this.

Don’t post foolish things to start false arguments. I’m sure the Obama people have a bit important things to worry about right now.

This is a fight for who’s ideas control the Republican party in the future.

That's what they did and are doing. This damnable mess did not emanate from the McCain camp or even from Republicans.

This is classic Saul Alinsky: Rules 12 and 5.

I predict Palin will be stronger as a person and get more respect over the course of time.

No doubt about it.
